having issues with my girlfirends car. we originally though it was a distributor as it died at high rpm . left it sit for 10-15 minutes and it drove again. from what i read that was a common distributor problem with these cars.

I just replaced the distributor with a remanufactored one and now, 3 days later it is doing the same thing.

any ideas?? what else can it be??

thanks

well civic i had the same problem except my first disty from az went out almost as soon as i put it in and the second 1 week later anyways i think it was do either to a bad ground,bad Crank angle sensor cause something was shorting out the ignitor coil. i would have those checked first besides checking to see if your getting power too the disty.

I just replaced the crank angle sensor and it is still having the same problem.. can a bad crank angle sensor blow the ignitor?? whats the best way to test for a short ? which wires would be the best to test out??

any help is greatly apprecaited as she is stuck with out a car.

thanks

if you find out it's a bad disty hit me up....I have a brand new one 0 miles that I'm getting rid of REAL cheap
